The Green Arrow in SDCC 2015

With San Diego Comic Con just came to an end, a lot of the videos of the panels and trailers are now online. So many cool trailers for all the fans, Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Deadpool and Xmen Apocalypse. For me personally, the one closest to myself was the WB/DC television panel that includes Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Gotham. I've been working on quite a few character concepts for the past few months gearing up to all 3 of the shows, one of the more anticipated one and I can now finally say it, The Green Arrow. They actually revealed the suit by having the actor Stephen Amell wearing the 3.0 suit out on stage and announced that he is the Green Arrow.So that's pretty cool right? There is more. I have also been working on a new look for Diggle as well, and they actually reveal the concept I did on screen in Hall H. Yes Hall H, which to any comic book fan Hall H is like the cathedral of all cool comic movie trailers and news. So now July 11th 2015 marks a very special day for me as an artist and a comic nerd, I made it to Hall H! I think they also had plans to reveal Hawkgirl, Hawkman and the Firestorm concepts I did because they asked me for the high resolution images, but probably decided not to show too much. Hopefully they'll reveal the rest in the near future. Below is a link of the panel itself and the promotional image they released after the reveal of the suit.

Recently I've spearheaded the project Beatbugs at Atomic Cartoons, a CG animated show which features Beatles Music.
